Biblioislam.net is an online library with indexing and abstracting services as well as full-text and reviews. This project is owned by Al-Balagh Cultural Society in Qatar and is administered by Media International. Biblioislam.net is according to its founder Hani Atiyyah, professor of Library and Information Science at Cairo University, the first and largest academic website to be launched in both Arabic and English in the Muslim world that provides comprehensive informative, academic, intellectual, and interactive services. These services are available for students, researchers, intellects, and thinkers in fields that serve the paradigm of “values and identity” of the contemporary Muslim world. ==History== The project initiated within IslamOnline.net under the name of "E-Library" in November 2001. The E-Library was created with the purpose of fulfilling the urgent need of Arabic-speaking researchers in obtaining sources of information in the form of bibliographic data. In July 2003, its service developed through the same website and was given a new name, "Al-Riwaq". At this stage, abstracts, as well as the selective dissemination of information service, was added and made available to registered researchers on the website. A bibliographic database under the name of "IMAM," for English-speaking researchers was developed, IMAM being the abbreviation of: Islam, Muslims, Arabs, and Middle East. In 2003, the project was planned and registered as an independent website under the name "Biblioislam.net" and booked the domains; .net, .org, .com, .info on the internet. In May 2006, the Arabic website of Biblioislam.net was launched, adding new sections, including, abstracts, reviews, full text, prizes and awards, site directory, and upcoming conferences. Biblioislam's English and Arabic websites include the same sections and services, but with different content. Currently, in addition to its Arabic and English websites, Biblioislam.net is working on the release of other multilingual versions of the website in French, German, Turkish, Malawi, Persian and Urdu. BiblioIslam.net has a network of 70 international organizations, universities, research institutions and academic publishers.
